Hello,
our customer has Ethercat communication issues.
He's using this configuration:
-Ctrlx Drive Ethercat slave : XCS2 firmware v402
-Plc Ethercat Master : NI cRIO- 9057 (labview 2020 version sp1)
When the plc sends to the slave in OP, this message appears and drive stop in Pre-operational:
We tried both in Coe and Soe.
We used XML files from DeviceDataSheet's Ctrlx Drive engineering (1.3) installation folder.
Have you already experienced this problem?

It may or may not help you, but I have attached an outdated guide describing how to connect a cRIO 9064 controller to IndraDrive over EtherCAT CoE using NI's SDI plugin. I have not tested this configuration with ctrlX DRIVE. The document was originally published in 2016 or 2017 and is not "official" Rexroth documentation.
Unfortunately I do not have access to the necessary hardware (or software) to test this further.
